Graded-index multimode optical fibers, optimized for signal transmission at 850 and 1300 nm, are available with 50/125, 62.5/125 and 100/140 µm core/cladding diameters, featuring large bandwidth and low attenuation. These Standard Communication Grade multimode fibers have a 250 µm acrylate buffer coating, allowing continuous operation in the -65°C to +135°C temperature range.

Cabled standard fibers have a 900 µm outer jacket, surrounded by a layer of Kevlar® strands for added strength and protection. An outer PVC cable jacket provides additional environmental protection. Check individual product specifications for jacket diameter information. Cabled graded index multi-mode fibers have an operating temperature of -20°C to +80°C, and are identified by the -C suffix in their model number. 

High-temperature, multi-mode communication grade fibers are also available. The polyimide buffer coating applied to these fibers extends their upper operating range to +375°C and increases their chemical and abrasion resistance, enabling their use in harsher environments. High-temperature fibers are identified by the -T suffix in their model number.

Patch cords are available in several standard lengths with FC, ST, and SMA connectors.
